the shape of a substitute for both the
senate and house bills, and it was agreed
to, 81 to IS. The bill now goes to the

proviso authorizing the secretary of war

NEW YORK, Feb. 19-The committee of
Catholics recently appointed at mass
meeting for that purpose, has issued an
address to the workingmen of the coun-
try upon the subject of the deposition of
Rev. Dr. McGlynn from the Catholic
priesthood for advocating Henry Georges
land theories. The address set forth
these theories have been held for many
centuries, that prominent clergies hold
them now, and that the church has never
declared on the subject, and that they
call on their fellow workingmen through
out the country to hold mass meetings
and meetings of their unions to rally
around DR.. McGlynn by unitedly declar-
ing against the political interference
from Rome, and to support him.

THE plant theory of dew is quite dis
arranged by the observations of Prof, IL.
II. +. Alyord, who has lately published a
treatise on the subject He employed
nice instruments, such as have been de-
scribad by Sachs, and Darwin. He found
that on clear nights, when, the atmos-
phere was rarehed, the lighter stratum
would be easily pushed ont of the way by
the cool and heavier body drawn by its
weight to the surface. The thermometer
AT four inches from the ground, would, in
these cases range from 1--WE 10 ten de-
grees lower than at four feet from the
ground. Right under the grass and close
TO the surface of the ground, the grass
furnishing guard against radiation, the
temperature was warmer than four inches
above OF Immediately over the grass.
The difference was always from 10 TO IS,
and sometimes rs much as 20 degrees
higher than in the narrow stratum just
above the grass. On bare soil, there was
a slight difference in the lower four-inch
stratum, but nothing in comparison with
that over the grass. There is always
some moisture eShaled from the earth at
night, enough TO make slightly dewy
deposit under the little difference between
The temperature of the lowest stratum
and the one q few feet above, but the
most of the moisture which appears as
dew on the leaves OF grass is transpired
by the foliage itself and condenses by
reason of the difference Of temperature
between the narrow strata along the line.

A P1rrsBuRa, Pa, inventor has recent
ly turned out new telephone appliance
which is far more wonderful theu the
telephone itself: 1t has no transmitter,
properly speaking, the conversation be-
carried ON by means of the receiving
tube, which is shaped somewhat different
from those now in use, is a single wire,
to the end of which is sensitive little
appliance, which presses against the lar
ynx and glands of the neck and as the
Jaws are moved in conversation the mo-
ton sends the words spoken along the
wire as distinctly as the telephone now
in use, and, it is claimed, even more dis
tiuctly There is no necessity of yelling
al the man on the other end of the line,
as the sound and words are conveyed ~
the gentlest motion of the jaws. The in
yentor got his idea from still more
wondesful mode of conversation which he
witnessed in New England town some
years ago. This conversation took place
between man who was deaf, dumb and
blind and one of his relatives. These two
conversed by placing the tips of their
fingers on each others neck at the pre-
else locality where the little instrument
at use on his telephone touches, and by
this means the two would converse as in
telligibly, so far as they were concerned,
as persons in ordinary conversation.

Wallace the womans husband started for

was armed with shotgun which was dis

stricken allowing Miller to escape, and he
